I pulled one of the 3 that have been listed the one on second to last row with the space ships

I wonder if most artists check ebay frequently to see how much their cards sell for or how many have sold etc.

Good question! But since Mars Attacks Heritage was my first sketch card gig, I have no idea what other sketch card artists normally do. I only know that I checked because I'm naturally curious, because I've been an off-and-on collector of pop culture stuff since the 1960s, and because there are a some of the sketch cards I drew and had to turn in that I wouldn't mind owning myself!

About 18 of my cards have popped up on eBay so far, and I bid on two of them, but lost. One, which I really, REALLY liked (the one where the soldier is beating the snot out of the Martian), was put up as a "buy it now" for $59.99 and was gone before I ever even saw it on sale.

Hi Russ, you did some great sketches for the series. I really like your drawing style and the effort you put into the sketches. I purchased the top left sketch you posted (soldier fighting the martian) and love it.

Glad it went to a good home! There's only one card for that variation, and you got it!

Thanks for the kind words! As I mentioned, I've been a fan of the cards for 50 years, so I guess it's only natural I'm a bit of a 1962 card set purist.

I have noticed on Ebay a slow down of new great sketches. Obviously after the initial rip a ton were listed and we had a nice fresh supply to chose from. But now it seems we gotta pounce early on a new BIN etc. I wonder if that will help values or not. No doubt that there is ton to still be ripped though and more top sketches will be known.
